Platforms 2018-19 Grants for Visual Art Projects
The Platforms Fund will distribute $67,000 in grants in 2018! The Platforms Fund, a collaborative effort of Antenna, Ashé Cultural Arts Center, and Pelican Bomb in partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, is excited to announce its 2018–19 cycle. The Fund will distribute a total of $67,000 in grants to a diverse array of artist-driven projects that are ambitious, accessible, and experimental in nature. To foster experimentation, the Fund will continue to grant project awards of up to $5,000, plus $1,500 research-and-development grants for projects in their earliest stages. Research-and-development grantees will be eligible to apply for up to $3,500 additional funds in the next grant cycle to help actualize their projects.
